All that remains of them are mystical ruins, powerful artifacts, and a strange, near-magical substance known as Dust. Your story unfolds in a galaxy that was first colonized by God-like beings known as the “Endless”, who rose and fell eons ago.
These Unfallen are known as Seconds, and they are what 99% of the galaxy thinks of when they hear "Unfallen" for they are the travelers, diplomats, and soldiers. Upon adulthood, they become mobile and are able to move -if not rapidly- on their long legs. The saplings that grow from these are immobile and known as Firsts their role is solely to listen and absorb knowledge and grow. This has however created an interesting relationship with fire, as the heat of fire -the Fire-that-Renews- is necessary to melt the resins and open the nuts. This is a defensive mechanism from the past, when terrible fires known as the "Scorchings" ravaged the planet and threatened their existence. They reproduce through seeds, resembling giant acorns that are heavily covered in resin. something ancient, mysterious, and powerful. The Unfallen strive for little, content in their ageless world, but the stirring of younger races across the galaxy has awoken something in Koyasil. Supreme, and it is said a fallen tree will lay undisturbed for millennia, its very fabric becoming another layer of the forest. In the depths of the forest, a sense of timelessness reignsįirst battle on Koyasil between other warring races, that inspired Unfallen to spread Harmony How long ago the Unfallen rose from the gloomy, silent woodlands is uncertain, but most historians who have studied the species of the galaxy place them as one of the oldest.

As with all Unfallen he will think slowly and deeply, and will generally err to the side of peace and optimism. Realistically he is aware that this is a difficult dream, but encouraged by the murmurs of the Heart, the spirit within Koyasil that nurtures and guides them, he will do what he can to realize this goal. With little sense of ambition, like the rest of his people, Arasch, First of the Seconds seeks harmony and strives for a galaxy that learns to live together like the biosphere of a giant, intertwined forest. The current leader of the Unfallen was thrust into the role by popular consent. Having an intimate relationship with fire as both Fire-That-Destroys and Fire-That-Renews, they view themselves as guardians of peace and harmony in a galaxy that seems to badly be in need of both. Seeing fire fall from the skies, and viewing the violence of other species firsthand changed their image of their role in the galaxy. The modern era was rudely thrust upon them by a galactic skirmish in the skies above, and the debris it rained upon their planet. They were content with this slow development that they refer to as the "Long Sleep" - the period from their rise to sentience to the modern era. The Unfallen have only ever known their homeworld of Koyasil, preferring to peaceably study what is near rather than discover what is far. Endless Space 2 - The Unfallen - Prologue
